Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away
Does she know? Does she know?
But it's too damn late
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone
All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone
Will she ever find her way?
I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you
Waiting for you now
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away
Does she know? Does she know?
But it's too damn late
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone
All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone
Will she ever find her way?
I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you
Waiting for you now
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone, now she's gone, now she's all gone

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
i think hes kinda saying, take the chance while you still have the moment, and if you do happen to pass it up, learn from it. but yeah i think he actually did meet someone and wrote about it.
